Giasscock Expresses His Views.

Captain Glasscock has written a letter about
the Indianapolis club and his work, which has
been published in ST Louis paper. In 1t he
says THE boys are playing good ball, but 1t
looks very much like can't win desirable
position in the League race; still the team hope
to surprise the leaders the season Is at an
end. Just look at scores for the season, and
you will see a great many games where we have
outbatted and outielded our opponents but
they have been able to get across the home
plate more times than have. The talk
of my playing a lIfeiess game is untrue and
uncalled for. 1 never worked harder in my
life to win than / have since have been with
the Indianapolis club And l can say the
same of all the boys. Every one of them
wants to win, but it seems like fate is
against US. The talk of my playing listless in
order to get my release is without foundation.
L am perfectly cognizant of the fact that Indian
apolis cannot sell my release this year. and even
il they could would not be guilty of playing
lazy game Of ball The great trouble with the
people here and elsewhere is that they think l
ought to make hit every time l step up to the
plate, and that 1 ought to handle every ball
clean attempt to get. Some of the papers say
that am an over-rated player, of this have
nothing to say. In Philadelphia 1 had couple
of errors, which lost the game for our boys, but
am as liable to make errors as anyone. played

A DefauItine Treasurer.

KANSAS CITY. June 14.-Rumors are rife here
of the disappearance of Walter S. Condor, grand
secretary and treasurer of the Switchman's
Mutual Aid Association, and of the cause there
of. There seems to be no doubt that he is de-
faulter, but no reliable statement of the extent
be secured, the amount being variously
named from s. 900 to $22, 900. His wife. who
lives in this city, has not heard from him for
three weeks. and admits that he has lost a con-
siderable amount at gambling. Detectives are
on his track. but with little hope of capturing
him, as he is supposed to be in Canada. Siren
uous efforts have been made to suppress the
matter, and all those who concerned are
very reticent
gineer Monaghan declared that the rumors OF
Condon's shortage were correct, and that the
amount. thus far ascertained is about 81, 600.
Circulars have been spread broadcast from the
Chicago police headquarters, that city being
Condon's residence since his election.

BALTIMORE, 10; ST. LOUIS, II.
BALTIMORE, June 14.-To-days Baltimore-St.
Louis game was witnessed by fully fifteen thou
sand people, who swarmed into the field and
com pletely encircled the diamond, necessitating
the adoption OF a ground rule allowing but two
bases on a ball batted or thrown into the crowd,
and causing numerous delays, which stretched
the game out over three hours The homo club

runs were scored on eight hits and three errors.
The champions worked hard to win, but were
outbatted, aud were also given lessons in base

Two ORGANIZATIONS Favored.

Relative to the twelveclub scheme the Cncin-
natl Enquirer says: There is plenty of room in
the United States for the two leading organiza
tons. If conducted in the right way there
never need be failure. If to-day two of the
clubs in the American Association should fail
there would not be particle of trouble about
getting new recruits to take their places. No
less than four cities could be enlisted under
American Association colors in a weeks time.
Milwaukee. Kansas City. Buffalo Rochester
would eagerly grasp franchise in the Associa-
tion Any of these cities is more than able
to take care of ITSELF and would support an As
ISOLATION club very easily. At present there is
no prospect Of there being a vacancy. There is
not a club in the Association but what is doing
we'll The Pittsbure club, with its long string of
defeats, and it's comparative poor home patron
age, is a brilliant illustration of the fallacy of
leaving good thing to take up an uncertainty.
The Pittsburgs, with their old Association play
ers, might have made a creditable showing in
League company. These were not fast enough
for the fastidious tastes of Messrs. Phillips and
Nimick. and the old players were dropped to
make room for a lot of League stiffs that the
other League clubs were kind enough 20 unload
on the Smoky City people for a consideration
The existence of two strong base ball organiza-
tions has a tendency to keep up spirit of rival
ry in the country, and as long as this exists the
interest in the great game will not abate"

The Broadsword Contest To-Day.

The broadsword contest at Athletic Park this
afternoon is something entirely new in the line
of athletic sports, and wherever i. has been Sc en-
has been spoken of as very exciting. The broad
sword is several inches longer than a cavalry
sabre and is much heavier. The fight is a series
of mounted contests, each for ten points. point
being such blow upon the breast as will indent
the armor with which the combatants pro-
tected. The combatants are Duncan Ross,
Xavier Orlofsky and Sergeant Walsh. Duncan
Ross is the champion all-round athlete of
the world. and has made the worlds
record in most if not ALL of the
Caledonian games. He is unsurpassed
a wrestler, and is fine horseman and expert
swordsman. though inferior a fencer to Xavier
Orlofsky. In broadsword contest at Denver,
last fall, Ross cut through Sergeant Wash's
helmet and fractured his skull. an injury from
which, however, Walsh appears to have fully
recovered, as he defeated both Ross and Orlofsky
in recent contest at Cincinnati. From
counts given by the Cincinnati papers, the exhi
biton, whether it is hippodrome or not, ap
pears to be well worth seeing.

Hon. John r. Pearson's Son
Frank in a Precarious
Condition.
Sent to Europe and Given Up by
Physicians.
He Is Saved by the Use of Haag's
Koumiss and Is Raised in Weight
from II to rs Pounds in
Few Months.

Many of the friends of the family of Hon.
John R. Pearson, of this city, familiar with
the illness of his son Frank. who had wasted
away almost to a skeleton. When Mrs. Pearson
last year visited Europe it for the purpose
OF taking her son. in the vain hope of his restora
ton to health. In a conversation with a friend
of the family yesterday the following facts were
obtained, which may be of value to others SINH
larly affected. The item will certainly rejoice
all who knew of the former condition of the
fortunate youth:
Frank had been troubled with diabetes and
was pronounced incurable by some of the most
eminent physicians of Indianapolis Mr. Pear
sons family physician advised him to send his
son to the springs at Carlsbad, Austria Fol-
lowing the advice Of his physician he sent his
to the world renowned springs. He remained in
Europe three months and returned with
marked improvement. He was then placed in
charge OF an eminent New York specialist. who
said that he never had saved a boy under twenty
(Mr Pearson's only twelve years old)
This was very discouraging to Mr.. P, who then
took his boy home. When Frank arrived in this
city he weighed only seventy-one pounds AL
though his diet was according to the eminent
physicians instructions. his food did not digest
and he was each day losing flesh; he had high

ordered for Frank last resort At first he
did not like it and took only four wine glassfuls
the first day, but, is generally the case, he
soon acquired a liking for it and the second day
drank one and half bottle From that time
he drank one to two bottles per day for ten weeks
After he had drunk the first bottle he could
sleep splendidly; his stomach did not distress
him and mis- food seemed to assimilate In
eleven days he gained six and one-quarter pounds
in flesh; in one month he gained eleven pounds
in two months twenty-six pounds and in ten
weeks he had gained thirty one pounds. He has
not taken more than two dozen bottles this year
and his weight continues to increase He now
weighs lis pounds. On the Goth of last Sep
tember, when he began the use Of Haags
Koumiss. he weighed only seveuty-one pounds
This wonderful brand of Koumiss has in the last
three years secured for itself world wide repu-
tation, orders being received daily from New
York to San Francisco and from Sault Ste
